Uncertainty weighs heavily
German police resume search for Arian (6)
The German police have resumed the search for the missing Arian (6) (see video above). "In the meantime, we don't understand why the boy has not been found anywhere," said police spokesman Heiner van der Werp on Monday.
Many people were out and about on the Oste river at the weekend. As reported, it is feared that the autistic boy may have fallen into the water. Another search operation is planned on the river this week. "We will also be using technical equipment," said the spokesperson. In addition, the residents of the villages near Arian's home in Bremervörde-Elm will be asked whether they have observed anything.
The boy has been missing since April 22. The police assume that he left his home on his own. For a week, hundreds of emergency services and volunteers searched day and night on land, from the air and in the water for the child. Search dogs, a team of riders, helicopters, drones, a Bundeswehr aircraft, an amphibious vehicle, boats and divers were deployed.
Accident feared
At the end of April, the police temporarily suspended the active search. Five investigators were assigned to continue looking into the case and following up on leads. The uncertainty is very stressful for the relatives and everyone involved, said the police spokesman. An accident still appears to be the most likely scenario. Footage from a private surveillance camera shows Arian running towards the forest.
Investigations are being carried out in all directions. "We have never ruled out the possibility that he was abducted."
